Artistic and grounded don’t always come in the same package.
Lynn Bryant isn’t any run-of-the-mill performer. Her songs demonstrate both a strong-woman sense of self-preservation and a barbed sense of humor, a sort of fresh extension of the feminine-empowering attitudes of Shania Twain and Martina McBride.

But Bryant’s also a well rounded personality whose comfort in multiple settings has her poised for across the board success, an expectation recognized by several people who know about busting down genres. A Nashville reSident who divides her time between Music City and Los Angeles, Bryant maintains a pace others would find daunting. She recently completed her second country album, working with legendary film/TV producer Charlie Fox.

Fox isn’t the only believer in Bryant’s multi-pronged abilities. Marty Krofft, who, with his brother Sid, produced the successful Barbara Mandrell &The Mandrell Sisters NBC-TV series, instantly recognized her camera ready features and quick comedic comebacks as the basis for a career that like Mandrell’s can bridge the gap between the concert stage and the screen.Marty Krofft recently stated about Bryant: “She’s one of a kind. She’s kind, talented, beautiful and a great person”.

Bryant faces her burgeoning future with a roll-up-you-sleeves life story,
a doggedly positive viewpoint and a passion for developing children’s character. Plus, even as she’s working on her second album, she is also co-creator and co-star of a TV show in development with Krofft.

Part of Bryant’s promise is derived from a daring spirit. She forged an extremely lucrative marketing career and established an educational program, The Nancy Ferro Learning For Life Foundation, which teaches academics and character lessons to elementary-school students. As she imbued them with a philosophy for living—“Dream big, love bigger, believe in yourself, go for it and enjoy your life”, she realized she had one more step to take to implement that dream big philosophy in her own life...so she moved to Nashville.

When she got her chance at a recording deal, Woman Enough was not a simple exercise in self glorification. A chunk of the proceeds from that album and merchandise sales was donated to Learning For Life program, and the material was chosen with their potential impact on the listener in mind. “I love music. It has the power to motivate, heal, inspire and some songs have the ability to forever impact our lives”.

In her debut album, Woman Enough, Bryant displayed her belief in music as a life-changing force. The songs explored communication, self-definition, compassion and the power of risk-taking. The Nashville music community showed its belief. She gained assistance from ex-Bread vocalist Jimmy Griffin and former England Dan partner John Ford Coley, and co-wrote with Academy of Country Music award-winner Judy Rodman. And the musicians who contributed to the project had an impressive list of credentials, having worked with such country acts as Vince Gill and Garth Brooks, in addition to pop and rock performers such as Linda Ronstadt and Pink Floyd. Three of the album’s cuts received airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio, and “When You Get To Be You” launched her into the Billboard country charts while the video appeared on GAC and on CMT.com. She was featured in numerous print stories, including a cover piece in Nashville Lifestyles, and articles in The Tennessean and The Las Vegas Sun.

When asked about writing Bryant stated “Lyrics make a difference,” she explains. “What we say is where our heart is.” Moving forward with Charlie Fox and Sid and Marty Krofft Pictures, Bryant is working on her second album and the TV show, which is already in development. Bryant is confident that every step in her journey will assist not only her freshly minted career, but also aid the kids that mean so much to her.

“By me following my dream and helping them get to theirs,” she says, “that’s as cool as it gets for me.”
